Excellent intro. We’re really inspired to try our hand at a second, more sophisticated costume now so will be buying more manuals

I have bought one of Kamui’s books, The Book of Foam Armor, and I just adored it! It came with the cutest things, such as gummy bears, a little note, and a sticker! Kamui really shows a lot of kindness towards her fans and it is one of her best qualities as a cosplayer. Also, she’s honestly hilarious in the books, if you want to get into cosplay, I recommend this all the way. Along with a laugh and good tips, you’ll never want to stop reading her books! P.S., I’m gonna get this one next :3

As someone who is from South Africa with not a lot of cosplay resources around this book helped me get started, taught me how to manage budget/materials and plan out my very first cosplay!
